FBL-EA Player of the Week Selected
Monday, June 11th , 1906
No single hit brought Vicente García Player of the Week honors -- the El Paso Finos first baseman corralled the award with a consistent approach in every at-bat.
"Hitting is all about discipline," said García. "When you lose focus, start to lunge at the ball and swing too aggressively... swinging at a lot of bad pitches... that's when your average starts to drop and you wind up fighting for playing time. You're most successful when you concentrate on the ball and make 'em throw strikes."
Concentrate he did. García stroked 9 hits in 23 at-bats while cranking out 3 home runs, 10 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
This season, García is batting at a .308 clip with 7 home runs and 21 RBIs.
